Is it me or does it seem the last 2 weeks in particular were just full of aviation incidents, after a long calm of not hearing about anything happening.
There was the Comair crash
Cirrus crash
US gear fire
weren't there a few other incidents? Just a seems like a lot after a long calm.
There are so many GA accidents just like the cirrus ones that happen everyday--the media just wants to scare the public on reporting a plane crash after a major commercial one. Just another month at the office from an insurance standpoint
EDIT: Just read about a US Airways Express Saab 340 veering of a taxiway in PIT (no injuries). Maaaaaaybe you're right about a busy month!
Dont forget the NetJets Hawker that hit a SAILPLANE over San Diego.

These things seem to happen in bunches.
yeah, the sailplane.
and now the jet in Iran which caught fire.
RDU-JFK, true, I read about them all the time in Business and Commercial Aviation Magazine. But the one nice thing about the media is that the Cirrus one will be held in a positive light, regarding the parachute. :)
Don't forget NYCA on public access TV!!!! iNsAnItY
That's perhaps is the biggest tragedy this week, LOL j/kQuote:

For some of the incidents, I agree it's the media grabbing on. But the Comair crash and Iran incident would have made the news anyway. Maybe the US wheel fire, too.
